The Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has wrapped up charges related to a major two-year investigation of the halibut fishery in Nova Scotia, Canada, that resulted in heavy fines and multiple convictions.
 

The DFO announced a total of four trials for five individuals and three companies that collectively perpetrated 18 violations of Canadian halibut fishing regulations. Charges include failing to have catch verified at the dock and providing inaccurate catch information so that fishers could land more halibut than allowed by their license.
